The best record in the WNBA goes on the road Sunday afternoon. Minnesota, sitting at 31-8, visits an Atlanta team that has quietly put together a 25-14 season and holds a real seed in the Eastern Conference picture. It’s a national television window, and the two leading scorers on the floor are separated by half a point per game.
Here’s everything you need to watch it.

What to Watch For
Olivia Miles has been Minnesota’s engine, leading the team at 19.7 points per game — eighth in the league — and adding 6.1 assists. Atlanta counters with Allisha Gray at 19.2 per game, ninth in the WNBA. That’s the individual matchup the broadcast will build around, and it’s close enough that whoever wins it likely swings the afternoon.
The larger point is seeding. At 31-8 Minnesota has the league’s best record and is playing for home court through the postseason; Atlanta at 25-14 is trying to hold position and, ideally, avoid a first-round trip to Minneapolis. Home teams have historically done well in this building, and the Dream took the season series meeting here a year ago.

The Bottom Line
Lynx at Dream tips at 3:00 p.m. ET Sunday from Gateway Center Arena, with NBA TV carrying it nationally, WANF and Peachtree Sports Network in Atlanta, and Victory+ in Minnesota. If you don’t have NBA TV, WNBA League Pass through Prime Video is the simplest way in. Minnesota is the better team on paper, but Atlanta at home in a game that matters for seeding is not a comfortable spot for anyone.
